H There are mothers, Here with an only son-S Mothers who must not weep ; -H And theie's many a, boy who is here fafl i Because theie'd a mother to keep. H Oh, 'tis bravo and right for our men tfl And \* c cheer them on their way, -Forgetting the ones who have longed ifl Whom duty has bidden stay. ■ Tis a gallant thing, with yoni kharki osß To march in a gallant band ; <H But 'tis sometnnes biaver to tlay at homm And woik with ek \Mliin^ haod. ■ 'Tis an honest deed for an honest rutsH Tq strike for his Queen a blow ; I 'Tis as plucky a thing to stay at hoinM ! When the lest of the fello-vvs go ! — 'B ;So when you cheer for our darling bojß • Who are o2 to xhe war to-day, H Give one to the lads who would like (fl Whom duty has bidden " stay." I M.
